THE last time I've been in Baguio was decades.  It is like Manila now, Quiapo area, but cooler.  Specially on a Holy Week, every Manila peeps are up in Baguio.  Estimated 200k visitors for a summer getaway, that's hot in a cold city.  Local folks busy on their business, tourist usually shop, dine and relax some visit churches.  I took pictures, where ever my group lead the road. There is no specific destination. We already disregard some tourists spots like Botanical garden, Camp John Hay etc.
   Its was a three day stay, a three day photo walk.  Baguio changed, all things do. At this point, it's a record of history.
